We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

... if the fact your country is poorer than the US qualifies you as refugees who cannot be turned away (really?) then we’ll have the entire world here. That’s fine. We’ll move en mass and found the US elsewhere. Hey, there’s a ton more natural resources further south. They can have our land. We’ll take theirs Within ten years, they’d be wanting in to our place again. Easier if we just tell them to take a hike…. in the other direction.

Re: Sarah Lawrence Prof. The sign on his door says that the trans people (and possibly others) feel their very "existence" is threatened. That is a rather fevered exaggeration. Hysterical, even. Why people would go out of their way to conform to the negative stereotype about them is beyond me.

I sat in a waiting room at Sarah Lawrence in 1996 while my son interviewed there, the last stop on our college-shopping trip. I read the course catalog, which had in bold letters that every course must address issues of race, gender, and whatever else had made the list by 1996. I flipped immediately to math, and sure enough, they seemed to be managing it. But there wasn't a lot of math or science, so one could probably make a few points stretch over the whole curriculum. I remember thinking "Sweet Jesus, don't let him choose this school." He didn't, and regaled me with how entertaining the interview was as we started are final leg home.

Revenge for what? For the Nazis refusing to surrender and even somehow waging an insurrection sufficient to seize the White House.

It occurs to me that the Left doesn't hurl epithets like "racist" and "patriarchy" and "deplorables" just as knee-jerk ad hominem, they seriously believe it. A normal person might conclude from Obama's election that maybe the United States isn't quite as deeply racist as the Left believes and therefore, being mistaken on this point, perhaps the Left might be mistaken as well on the depth of the rest of our faults. But not the Left - Obama's election didn't prove we aren't as racist as they believe but rather that they had the numbers to defeat us.

Which would explain why they chose a candidate as deeply flawed as Hillary - it didn't matter who they chose as a candidate, there would never again be a straight white male nor a Republican elected President. The Nazis had been routed and the Left held the field. And which also would explain her failure to campaign in so-called "battleground" states - the war had already been won and the evil White Man had already been defeated, who cared about a few isolated pockets of resistance?

And the Left seriously believes this, they seriously believe that they speak for the vast majority of US voters and anybody who disagrees with them must be stupid, insane or evil. Which is what drives them crazy - how can there possibly still be so many stupid, insane, evil people in the United States? There's no self-reflection, no questioning that perhaps their fundamental beliefs are mistaken, their faith in their own righteousness is not and cannot be shaken.

I've heard some Democrats like to think about "what if Hillary had won?". Let's play that out for a moment.

Imagine that if the right was constantly virtue-signaling about how "we are the resistance" against Hillary's socialist statism.

Would MSNBC, CNN, YahooNews and the leftist media celebrate us like they do their own "resistance"? And then what if we succeeded in blocking Hillary's nomination of Merrick Garland by lying about his past felonies when he was a teenager? What if several women on the right made up hateful and scandalous lies about him to try to "resist" Hillary's ability to get him confirmed?

What if we had dozens of celebrities talking about how this was the one chance to resist Hillary by getting out the vote of average people to stop this Nazi?

The Democrats are on the verge of a bloodless coup, a complete overthrow of the constitution and replacing patriot voters with immigrants and illegal aliens. Then they would loot the country, loot the wealth of the middle class and enjoy decades of power. Then along came Trump! That is what they are pissed at.

About Jane Fonda. I, like most Vietnam war era veterans, despise her. My hope all these years is she dies soon and is buried somewhere where I can go piss on her grave. My only concern is the long wait in line to get there, I have to pee more often now that I'm getting older.

Re: Judy Munro-Leigh. Judy, Judy, Judy. Decades older! Well, that would make her anywhere from mid 60s to, 100+!
Clearly, her divorce from reality has been finalized. In court. A rather juvenile crime to have to answer for. Make her an example to Blasey-Ford and Swetnik. And go after them as well.

Re: Trumps' "dragon energy" - I've never seen a more active, on the job prez in my life. He should play some golf after this; he deserves it. Not like Obama by a long shot who seemed utterly laconic about the job and did not deserve all the golf time off.

If I told a lie about Judy that cost her livelihood or caused her reputation to be ruined, I would be liable for her injuries. Doing it because I didn't like her politics wouldn't absolve me of the guilt. Unless I was a leftist, I suppose.

Both parties need to be tossed. What a lousy bunch of leaders. Cut their paychecks, introduce term limits. Let them make their living doing what the rest of us do...produce a product the public wants to buy.

I agree it is a little nasty. But I will honestly say that if she were injured in an accident or something I would do whatever I could to help her. I would never harm a hair on her head, she did what she did and it is her "sin" to deal with. But I have disliked her for some 50 years for what she did and nothing she has ever said convinced me she was sorry or even understood the harm she caused or contributed to.
